“Marc Webb has been announced as the director for the Hollywood Your Name, and I’m so happy!
After becoming the biggest international anime film success of all time, the next stop for creator Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name is a live-action American remake.
While the anime Your Name is centered on a boy living in Tokyo (named Taki) and a girl living in the mountainous countryside of Gifu Prefecture (Mitsuha), the Hollywood version will instead be about a boy from Chicago and a Native American girl in a rural community.
The Hollywood Your Name, meanwhile, still has no projected release date.
